The group was set up in response to leaked pictures, first published by a US website, showing the prince cavorting naked with a nude girl in his hotel suite.

His antics have been branded ‘irresponsible’ by various sections of the media and royal commentators, while the publication of the pictures in one newspaper sparked a string of complaints to the Press Complaints Commission.

Prince Harry has previously served as an army officer in Afghanistan and is a trained Apache helicopter pilot.

Meanwhile it was announced this week that the 27-year-old will be supporting a charity race to the South Pole between three teams of wounded servicemen from around the world.
